It has the splendid advantage of being based on the glamorous romantic, mystery Action by Major P. C Wreir.t "Beau Geste.” as a novel, had tremendous vogue. For the first one hundred rages It Is one of the best of mystery stories. Thence forward It Is a bewildering and thrilling njaratlve of the adventures and strugglo for life In the va**Arabian desert The disappearance of the sapphire, the determination of the three brothers to assume guilt, their experience with the French Legion, their tremendous devotion to each other ami the final lifting of the curtain on the jewel mystery forms one of the niost delightful episodes of modThose who reveled In the novel to the point of being unable to put it down until the last page was reached, should sec the cinema translation. The fidelity with which Herbert Brenon has followed the story, first to last, is remarkable. It loses nothing of Its lure In his hands. It is sn amazing triumph, not only for Mr. Brenon but for the cast and Paramount, which produced It. All of the magic, beauty and savagery of the desert are revealed. . V, e never have encountered more startling realism than that Os the dead men a' the rampart* of the fort. The struggle of the little garrison of nondescripts, led bv the cruel and Indomitable Lejaune, is simply amazing "Beau Geste." as a picture. Is as bewildering and interesting as is tho novel, yet It all is done so perfectly that It thrills whether one has read the book. No one should miss this gorgeous characterization of Lejaune by Noah Beerv. It Is a v/onderful cast and a wonderful picture, far too valuable to be overlooked. —Robert G. Tucker, dramatic editor Indianapolis Star.
